Re: Equipment designed and manufactured for use in-house

1999-08-14 Thread Nick Williams

It is my understanding that the protection requirements apply, and it is
also necessary for the technical documentation to be available, but that it
is not necessary to actually put the logo on the product or prepare a D of
C.

I have a liaison committee minute from HSE which appears to state, in
effect, that CE marking takes precedence over the Provision and Use of Work
Equipment Regulations; in other words you can't claim exemption from CE
marking on the basis of equipment falling under PUWER. However, it's not
entirely clear from the document the extent to which one has to go.

For reasons connected with another project I am involved in I have today
officially asked the HSE for their position on this matter, and when I
receive a reply I will post details to the list.

Regards

Nick.

RE: Question on internal ESD testing

1999-08-14 Thread Green, Henry

Jack,
I also remember instances of a charge being developed internally from the
movement of paper along the "paper-path" of the copier. At that time I
utilized internal ESD discharges.

Charles,

This is a contentious subject for us due to the time it
takes to thoroughly
test a large product, so I'd be interested in hearing
other's opinions and
practices.  

A scenario where ESD can cause a genuine problem (in our
business) is when
someone walks across a room to add paper to a printer tray.
In some
machines, the unit will be in standby mode.  In others, it
may continue
printing from a different tray or cabinet.  In either case,
a discharge to
the internal metal parts of the paper tray could conceivably
cause problems
we would consider failures (and have).

Hello,

Does anyone in this august group apply ESD discharges
INTERNAL
to a product as required by EN55024. 

I consider this just a tad egregious - don't you?
